SPOTTED ON SHELVES – 12/17/2012

Here are some interesting new and limited edition products found on store shelves by us and your fellow readers.

This is the second Limited Edition Marshmallow Pebbles box we’ve featured here with the first being the Wilma Flintstone box. From the looks of it, Post will probably have Betty Rubble and Dino boxes, but I hope Post releases a super limited edition Pearl Slaghoople box. (Spotted by Cortney at Walmart.)

Maybe it’s just me, but it feels like YoCrunch added the words “Terrific Taste Combo” to the packaging specifically to convince shoppers that the combination of yogurt and applesauce isn’t as weird as it sounds. (Spotted by Stefanie at Walmart.)

I will not eat them with an evil coven. I will not eat them from an oven. I will not eat them with a horny stag. I will not eat them from a microwaveable bag. I will not eat green bean casserole. Oh, no. Oh, hell no. (Spotted by Marvo at Safeway.)

International Delight has a new half-gallon carton iced coffee flavor — Caramel Macchiato. I’m waiting for Starbucks to come out with their own iced coffee in a half-gallon carton. But instead of calling it a half-gallon, I hope they call it gigantesco. (Spotted by Marvo at Safeway.)

According to the Kidfresh website, “Because most children don’t eat enough vegetables, each of our fresh frozen meals are full of hidden veggies that have been pureed and snuck in. Shhh…don’t tell the kids!” Well, if Kidfresh is trying to be secretive about it, maybe they shouldn’t have highlighted “with hidden veggies” on the front of the box. (Spotted by Marvo at Safeway.)
